I'm trying to make a feat that's a variation on Fey Touched/Shadow Touched with a choice between an Ability Increase, the addition of a specific spell, and a spell choice. When I try to make a feat of similar function using one of those as a template, it pulls all the description information but does not appear to have any of the actual functional parts for me to make alterations to (ie: prereqs, options, modifiers, etc), not including any in the dropdowns in the editing page. None of them have a (1) or any number present to indicate functions. When I try to add my own spells, for example, and I apply it to a character, it still has all the Fey Touched/Shadow Touched changes in addition to the new ones I added to the template.
They changed the background mechanics for several feats back in January for several feats. The changes made to these feats were apparently done outside of the homebrew tool because we're not able to use any of these feats as usable templates now and the homebrew tool cannot perfectly recreate them either.
Closest thing was some juicy hints back in 2020-2021 that a back end revamp was in the works as a long term project. But not a word of how that is progressing since WoTC acquired the site last year.
If some of the things we've all heard about in the last few months come to fruition, such as an official VTT, 3rd party homebrew storefront, or moving homebrew to a subscription tier, you have to imagine the back end tools just have to be improved. Right?
considering How much WotC Hated people using "Their" Product for "Third Party Content" they will likely never bring that back. which Leave perspective Homebrewers Sunk if their trying to learn the ins and outs of how some of these things even worked.

Is there something I'm missing?

Oh damn, that's a huge bummer. Has there been any word on if those background tools will eventually become available for homebrew users?

Just pointing out that this is still not fixed.
Don’t expect it to get fixed, it likely never will.
